Multiplicativity conjecture for commutativity degrees of coprime direct products

Let HH and KK be finite groups of coprime orders, and let D(X)\mathcal{D}(X) denote the set of commutativity degrees of a finite group XX.

Multiplicativity conjecture. For any two such groups,

D(H×K)=D(H)×D(K).|\mathcal{D}(H\times K)|=|\mathcal{D}(H)|\times|\mathcal{D}(K)|.

The product formula for the sets themselves gives the immediate lower bound D(H×K)D(H)+D(K)|\mathcal{D}(H\times K)|\geqslant|\mathcal{D}(H)|+|\mathcal{D}(K)|. The stated conjecture predicts the stronger exact product formula for their cardinalities and is presented as unresolved in the source.
